eye-yi-yi

My littlest one scratched her cornea yesterday. It was scary seeing the doctor patch up her eye, but even scarier knowing that such a delicate part of her was injured. As I learned, the eye has an amazing ability to heal itself after a scratch like that. A blob of antibiotic cream and a patch to keep the eye protected while it heals is the simple treatment. Basically, it looks worse than it is, but it's a reminder (especially to all of you with young ones!) to keep the eyes safe. My new daily task will be to keep Laela's fingernails filed daily - not just trimmed short, but filed to keep any sharp edges away...
